It’s an absurd extravagance, but as part of my guilt-free spending, it’s part of living a rich life for me.

And I want to share that with you today in a new giveaway.

A couple months ago, I gave away two roundtrip tickets anywhere in the USA. It was one of my most popular giveaways ever. We LOVE to travel…especially if someone else picks up the tab. It removes all excuses.

This time, I’m giving away two nights at a luxury hotel anywhere in the world.

Any Starwood hotel is valid, including Le Meridien, Westin, Aloft, Four Points, Sheraton, Element, St. Regis, and W Hotels — which includes beach resorts, highrise hotels in most major cities, and economy hotels. Somehow, I suspect you jackasses will not be staying at the cheap ones if you win.

I extended the limit to $1,001 for the two nights so you can take advantage of most Starwood hotels.

Also, this offer is valid for life, so if you win, you can redeem it tomorrow, 5 years from now (on your honeymoon), or whenever you want.

Think about where you would go if you had 2 free nights around the world. Some of my favorite places include London or anywhere in Hawaii.

The contest ends Mon 11/19.

One more thing (and a hint): The winner of these past contests tends to share frequently on FB, Twitter, and any blog/site they have.

I know kind of lame (to someone that lives there), but I’d go to San Francisco with my wife. I haven’t looked at eligible hotels yet, but I’m thinking the InterContinental Mark Hopkins, I stayed there on a business trip and the views were awesome. San Francisco is one of my favorite places and my wife has never been.

We need nights for our honeymoon: every night we don’t spend cash for puts us that bit closer to a house deposit! We’re still planning, but our top choices would be the W Santiago and the Sheraton Colonia.

I would stay at the The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort. I have dreamed of going these, and this would be the perfect way. My 10 year anniversary trip to Dominica was cancelled this past September due to some unfortunate events. But through some work, we got through the problems, and would love to take a make up trip with my partner. Thanks for the great giveaways Ramit!

If we won the contest, my husband and I would have a hard time choosing one place to go to! We have been making a list of possible anniversary locations to go to in the next few years. We only list places that neither of us has stayed at before: Mohonk Mountain house in New Paltz, Disney’s Magic Kingdom, California, Brazil, Italy, etc. We would be so very blessed to win! Thank you for the opportunity!

My sister is in Thailand right now. I haven’t seen her for almost 2 years. I’d love to go and visit her there and stay in a ridiculous hotel like the one in the picture. She just featured the Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel as part of “The Best of Thailand” TV show. Any good?

I’d pick the Westin Paris Vendome, my sister and I have been talking about planning a trip to Paris next year, it’s a dream destination for her and we have both been saving into our ING accounts for the trip!

Hi Ramit,
I was really depressed in a Barnes and Nobles one day, and stumbled upon your book “I will teach you to be rich.” I was drawn to the book because 1. I am a teacher and 2. I am not rich.
With your help, I was able to get some of my very messed up credit in order, and I loved your tips on ING savings… I’m getting there!
I’m young, have an adventurous spirit, and 2 passports… but no way of being cool and traveling any time soon. This contest is giving me lots of hope and an illusion of a rad vacation. If chosen, I would have my hearts set on Egypt; South Africa; Japan, or somewhere warm (I’m talking “surface of the sun”)so I can just get absurdly tan on vacation. Thank you for all of your wise words and for coming across as a relatable fun guy. Best, Carla

I’d use this trip as bonding time for me and my amazing mentor. I’d like to take this person on a trip to say thanks for all the ways he’s helped me – and to strengthen our relationship for the years ahead.

I’d tell him to pick wherever he wanted to go – my treat. Then I’d ask Ramit where the best hotel in that location was so that I could blow my mentor away with my taste and connections!

If he’s amenable, I’ll also suggest we each invite someone awesome and make this a brain trust mini-retreat. I’d be very happy to chip in some cash of my own to cover additional rooms; I think it would be well worth it in the long run.

I am not sure who I would take with me but I would go to Cairo, Egypt and stay at the Le Méridien Pyramids Hotel & Spa.
I am going to go to Egypt for my next vacation and after exploring the pyramids and doing a lot of walking a stay at luxury resort would be an amazing way to finish a trip of a lifetime!

What a fun contest Ramit! When I dream about staying in a fabulous luxury hotel what’s awesome about that is not the opulence and pampering that goes on so much as how the total experience expands your willingness to receive more from life! You can’t create abundance unless you are willing to *receive * abundance!!

If I get chosen I would like to take my soon-to-graduate son on his dream trip to Italy and stay on the Amalfi coast at the Hotel Caruso or some place like it – his choice! Even though finances have been tight while raising him as a single parent one thing I made sure to instill in him is that he never stop himself because of money! There are lots of ways to realize/fund your dreams, just be creative! So when I was pondering today about how I would like to make this happen, I saw your ad on Facebook and decided to go for it! Always on the lookout to see what else is possible!

I’d take my wife to the Ritz Carlton Red Square in Moscow. It is my favorite city in the world and my wife has never been there. It would be a great place to start a tour of Moscow and St. Petersburg! Also a chance for me to exercise my Russian that I’ve been working on for the past 4 years. Slow process, but being there is the best way to practice.

I would choose The Westin Sydney for the bucket list trip my sister and I will take one day – hopefully sooner rather than later. Our goal is to win as much of the trip as possible. This past summer, we traveled to the NW (Seattle, Vancouver BC and Portland) for 2 weeks on our sweepstakes wins so we know it can be done!

My biggest win would be a trip to New Zealand or Australia, or around the world. Talk about an eye-opener! World travel is interesting, exciting and fun! I’d get to explore new places and do things that are completely different than my normal life. I would appreciate life in the States more but also see how the rest of the world lives.

Didn’t catch the “Starwood” restrictions! So I’d choose the Sheraton Male’ Hotels in Maldives. Looks incredible!! Plus, would be a nice way to wrap up a SE Asia tour of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia.

I so want in!!!! As cheesy as it sounds I’d love to go to BALI!!! Just hv a personal pool by my rooms, awesome massages Breakfast in bed and just party\m/ I shall BLOG about this and go just go WILD with spreading he word on this because I so NEED a break or ‘Somebody is gonna get a hurt real bad’ – Russell Peters . Hahah

I would visit my cousin in Seoul, South Korea. Im 24 and have never traveled out of the country. My cousin is a strength coach on the Army base there and he hasn’t had any family visit him in 2 years! So I’ll come and cheer him up and party nonetheless.

As a lot of people in there 30s say they regret not traveling more. 2013 will be the time where I make travel my main focus since I already bought my first house a month ago using Ramits tips!

Plus 11/19 is my 25th Birthday, so I feel like the stars have aligned and this WILL happen and I’ll win the contest!

I have always wanted to travel to Hawaii. Hawaii is on my bucket list of places to visit. I can’t get enough of the beautiful beaches. I am a very simple person so the two nights living in luxury sounds exciting and wonderful. My husband and I love to cruise and camp.

Where would I go if I won? Really itching to go back to Japamala Resort in Malaysia. But I think I’d try somewhere new. Or I would just spend a few baller nights in NYC with my Korean girlfriend. I’d also invite Ramit up for a swim at the pool or a nice meal…;)

My wife and I have never been to Paris, so I would select the Paris Westin Vendome. We also love luxury hotels and my ultimate goal is to save enough to stay at the George V hotel in Paris and also the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai. Both are supposed to be the very best in the world. Thank you for the contest and a fun concept.

I would love to stay anywhere in Italy. Im only 22 and just started reading your blog and I can’t believe what an amazing giveaway you’re doing! Because of your advice my boyfriend and I are starting to pay off our debt (which isn’t much, but for two broke college students, it is!), so this wouldn’t be used for a while. By the way, I don’t have any social media accounts but I’m sharing the link via text with all my friends, hope one of us wins, and thanks for the chance!

Sorry Ramit, but i hate to break to you, but i had a weird dream i had about you last night, before i forget. You released a video series about you showing people how having an automated system, earning more, & spending the things you love is great. That’s not the weird part. In the end you show what you really spend your money, you love spending it on your girlfriend & beautiful Indian girls. In the end of the video it shows you having a threesome with your girlfriend & a hot indian women, & you say ” I’m living proof guys”. I woke up & i was like ” Wtf was that, haha “. I’m sorry to offend you, or break to you.

Ooooh, these two nights would cover the reservation I already have at the W Hollywood hotel in LA in early Dec. Sorry to cheat on you a bit, Ramit; but, I’m attending a live event with Christina Morassi on Ecstatic Wealth: Rock Your Mission. Make Money. Change the World. I love Christina’s work as much as I love yours, and the two of you are supporting massive changes currently taking place in my thinking and behaving. This live event is me moving into an even higher level of vibration: I’m changing my mindset about money, systems, and Self and it’s unfolding positive after positive experiences and movement in my life and new business.

No doubt – I’d take my wife to the Allison Inn (Newberg, Oregon). It’s in the wine country, it’s posh but not pretentious and the spa is consistently rated as one of the best in the U.S. And I think they let you test drive a Lexus when you arrive!

So my first thought was London because I haven’t been there in years. But then I thought I’d like to go somewhere more relaxing. My top choice –
The Westin Denarau Island Resort & Spa, Fiji.

But because I love to learn, I think I’d make it a working holiday – so American of me. I think I’d like to go somewhere where I could learn to grow my business and my life and bring the best people I know (and only know about) with me. Like an amazazing mastermind. I don’t want to leave just feeling relaxed, I think I’d like to leave pumped and charged. Then we can all return the following and talk about our accomplishments and future goals.

Hi Ramit! Thanks for sharing your lifestyle experiences with us!
My biggest win would be to take a friend who has experienced a very tough life since her dad passed away and for the last 5 years she’s been working hard to take care of her mom… it hasn’t been an easy process but she’s so brave and deserves at least two nights of luxury for all she has done

Aloha from Hawaii….
I have always dreamed of staying at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki. Lounging at the pink palace wold be a dream come true. I wouldn’t have to go anywhere, it would be the most amazing “staycation”, since I already live in vacationland (does that disqualify me? LOL!). I have not really had a vacation or done any real travel since becoming the caregiver for my mom in 2008. I miss the globe trotter lifestyle. It would be indescribable to have this kind of break. When are you coming to Hawaii Remit? 😉

I would take my wife to Fiji and stay at The Westin Denarau Island Resort & Spa. I thought I was wholly a mountain guy, but our honeymoon to Maui was incredible. I’d like to be somewhere with her that she is the only person around, and she would prefer that be on a beach than miles out of town in the mountains somewhere. Considering we haven’t been on a vacation since our honeymoon in 2008, I’d like to do it up for the next one.

My biggest win would be taking my mother to the place of her choice. She is 70 and had knee replacement in 2011 in order to continue to travel. She hasn’t traveled abroad for several years, so taking her to Germany to see and learn more about her ancestry, would be wonderful.

My big win would have to be letting my husband choose where to go if we win! He has been an amazing partner these past few years, and now daddy to our 4 month old. He is much deserving of a reward like this, and so even though I may have my favorite spots (I agree with you, Ramit, London would be on the list), I’d have to defer to my hubby on this one … and I honestly don’t know where he’d go. Maybe because it’s the start of winter here in Seattle, somewhere sunny?

Always wanted to stay at The Plaza. Not sure if that’s on the list though. I have a friend that I need to get back there and see. He just lost his 22 year old son. I’d gift him the deal for him and his wife. It’d be cool to get there and have dinner with them.

I would use this opportunity for me and my wife to take a getaway without the kids so we can have a break. Depending on the time of year we would probably do Lake Tahoe but would have to be after the snow since my wife does not do cold well.

I would take my wife to Ireland, preferably a bit off the beaten path. She has always wanted to visit Ireland, and it would make a great 10th anniversary trip.

My biggest win would be totally debt free. I have no grand desire to be a millionaire or anything (not that I would mind), but mostly I would like to have more freedom and be debt free. At the moment all I have is two car payments, no credit cards, no mortgage, etc, but it is still a debt none the less.

My biggest win would be to leverage this win into a way to help raise funding for my production company’s first big show, so we can launch with great production values and show what we can do.

I’d use those hotel nights at either the W Washington DC or the Fairfax at Embassy Row, both of which have a slightly retro-glamour style that would fit with the feel of our production, and offer them as part of a VIP package to see the show and get wined and dined that would be the reward level for a top funder. Lets us offer serious incentive without diverting funds from the production.

I’d love to let my husband take me to Okinawa. He spent several months there when our first-born was a baby (a military obligation), and I was unable to make the trip to visit him. I know he has a lot of great memories of being there, and I’d love to be able to experience some of them first hand.

I would go to the Prince de Galles, Paris. It’s currently closed for renovations but looks to be the poshest Starwood hotel in Paris when it reopens next year. Since I’ll be graduating college and heading for my Master’s degree, a vacation in Paris would be the perfect way to celebrate.

My biggest win for this would be to give my incredible husband a deserving break. He’s been more than supportive through tumultuous times for us both with laughter, love and a determination to ‘get through it’!

My biggest win will be when we are debt free and consciously choosing where to put our money and cutting mercilessly where it doesn’t matter. (just bought your book! Most of our money will be for travel!!

I would choose Le Royal Meridian Shanghai. My hubby, daughter and I are going back to China in 2015. My daughter is adopted from China and this will be our first trip back. Would be fun to see the contrasts of going to her town and then the big, sparkly city of Shanghai.

Well Ramit, I’d go for superior opulence and go to The Trump Tower International in Toronto. Incredible amenities like a spa and beds that are so comfortable I’d want to stay forever. And free food. It’s not cheap for good nutritious food here in Canada. Musicians I know in California, they say food is damn expensive but better in California from places like Whole Foods.

Another reason I am picking Trump Tower in Toronto is it’s right downtown where I deal with musicians here in Canada, and they go out of their way to help business people have a better stay. People who hustle for a better life. Having a nice “Free Stay” for 2 nights would help my pocketbook.

Just being honest. As well, I go back and forth between my town and Toronto monthly.

I would definitely take my wife on a trip to NYC (don’t want to have to spend a fortune on flights) and we’d spend a couple of days just hanging out and having fun. That’s actually one of my most favorite things to do!

Ramit, impressed that you’re reading these.
One dream is to go to World Cup…and you know how expensive those hotel rate hikes are! So, Brazil 2014 it would be. But it seems that a lot of comments missed the question you asked.
My biggest win? > Negotiating with my company to move me to Florida, keeping my present salary (in SF now), and giving me a chance to join the sales comp plan (currently on bonus-only biz dev plan).
How would it change my life? > move closer to family on E. Coast (2nd kid on the way), and put me closer to my territory (latin america), thus getting me home sooner (from trips to Mex mainly) and more time with family.

thanks for all the wonderful giveaways, free advice, and great products, Ramit. You’re an inspiration.
Nico

I would conduct a contest to see who could provide me the most business referrals by liking my FB business page and by the number of referrals to my business via email. Then the person with the most ligitamate referrals would win this prize. With the business referrals, I would then generate sales and revenue to make more than enough money to purchase airline tickets and a week’s worth of nice hotel nights to stay at.

I would take my mom first and foremost and I would probably go somewhere like florida (beach) or New York. I haven’t spent three vacation days or even one with just my mom and she does SO SO much for me and everyone else in the family. this is the LEAST I could do for her

Whom I would bring? My beautiful wife, of course! Even though the state of Oregon and the United States government do not recognize our union, we are coming up to our 20th year anniversary together. And we want to celebrate it in style.

Being a budget traveler, I’ve never stayed in a luxury hotel. Italy is our destination, and I can’t think of a better place to experience luxury for the first time.

Hands down it would be the St Regis-Lhasa. For the last 5 years I have traveled all over China but I have been saving my Tibet trip for the day I could afford to stay at the St. Regis. For relaxation, I would take advantage of their meditation garden, morning yoga and night rituals. For decadence, I would float in their bejeweled “Golden Energy Pool”!

WELL… You know how to throw a contest! My new hubby and I have been focusing our attention and money on growing our new business. Our honeymoon is simply long overdue! We would stay in a modern boutique hotel probably in New York, San Fran or Portland. We very much enjoyed your Chase Jarvis spot, thanks for that – learned tons and for the great actionable content in your newsletters. What we both appreciate most is that your methods require hard work, we respect that, not get rich quick schemes.

My big (or rather only) indulgence is travel….I LOVE to travel…I will go ANYWHERE…And I will pretty much stay/sleep anywhere..as long as I am somewhere fabulous…I have learned to travel on the cheap (so couches, pensiones and hostels)…but that doesn’t bother me at all…It is the experience of the place and of the people that really counts ;))

Ramit, its the first time I directly write to you. I live in Europe now, and with a little ahead planning, any european trip is VERY accessible.
I was reading the comments here and I am so impressed by people who want to take their family in a special trip.
As foe me, I WILL have the trip I wish for, because I already am planning it. Thank you for allowing me to participate in the contest.
But I wish Eric will win, so he can change the divorce in a re-marriage. That I think would be something else. You cannot plan this.
Good luck, Eric!

My biggest win will be when I launch my revolutionary new product. I’m building the prototype now. There is nothing like it – and (oops!) it’s NOT digital! This thing will change the life for people (rich and poor) economically and healthwise around the world- expecially me. I can almost guarantee, it’s not what you think- but once you see it- you will know. All I have sought to know and all my life experiences, I can see, are drawn to or happened for the creation of this product. You will see- you’ll want one. Imagine any really new thing invented over the past 20 years (PC, etc.) – this thing is more original and in a way, more productive for the world population than any of them. I will simply glow as one does when the first child is born.

This is a fun contest!
I’m not sure where I’d go if I won but I’d take my husband and it’d likely be somewhere to celebrate my 30th birthday next year. Hitting 30 – I’m going to need luxury to ease the pain!

I would go to Maui. I would take my boyfriend and surf and swim and hike and relax. . .And contemplate what really matters in this life for us. What does abundance look like and feel like? How do we live in harmony with what is truly important before we die? Maui is the perfect place for doing that kind of thinking.

The freedom to travel comes from focusing on our dreams by liberating ourselves from the things we do for the sake of doing them due to comfort, as long as we have no other options. The great thing about the present is that we often have the freedom to choose what we do, and more importantly, how we do it. Ramit’s been a great inspiration to make sure what you do is done well, and is focussed.

If one of these hotels existed in Thailand, The Philippines, China, or another place I am eager to explore, I would go there and live it up by using every service I could to see (and enjoy) how the elite get treated in these areas. Then I’d explore places in the area to that were perfect getaways and simple but high quality living to see if it would be somewhere I’d want to relocate. I would get a sense of the communities views on the extravagant living and keep an eye out for needs in the community not being fulfilled. If it were something I was interested in, then the real fun would begin!

Biggest Win: Clearing 40,000 of debt and in its place establishing 40,000 in savings. I have had zero credit card debt and zero in loans for over 10 years now … WhooHoo!
But amassed 40,000 in medical-related debt several years ago. I keep paying it down a few thousand a year … and amassing more at about the same rate when medical issues reoccur. Urrrr! Would love the freedom of being out from under this and the achievement of having that much in my savings account instead.
Vermont or a secluded beachfront hotel is where you’d find me… If there is one that offers a spa package with reservation, I’m there

I would go to Starwood Ireland. My hubby and I were going to go to Ireland for our honeymoon but then got accepted into Northwestern. So we used our honeymoon money for our deposits for school. 2 years later, we are educated, but paying on student loans and still waiting for that much desired honeymoon!!

I think I would have to take my fiance to somewhere with nice beaches. I don’t really care where, as long as there is lots of WATER! I think my biggest win would simply be to have the chance to photograph the sunrise and sunset from every widely-inhabited continent in the world. . .It’s been one of my longtime dreams.

Either Sydney for New Year’s Eve (I hear it’s a great party)… a southeast asian country like Burma, Laos or Vietnam, where $500 would mean palatial digs and probably big enough to invite a bunch of friends to stay there with me… or NYC: a luxury hotel in Manhattan would be a decadent splurge and party in itself.

The biggest win for me in travel is ditching routines and being open to newness, awakening my senses — especially taste and sight (i.e., eating and photographing my way through any city), trying things completely unlike home, bonding with my husband. 2 days of heightened experience can be more memorable than a month of the usual regimen.

My biggest win would be getting to travel again after living abroad for 6 years and then having our world come crashing down last year when the tsunami/earthquake/Nuclear meltown hit in Japan. We had been living there for 5 years prior to that but because of that we lost everything but what we could pack back home in two suitcases……so being able to get outside the borders of the US again after that would be huge!

I’ll take two nights at the St. Regis on Kauai. Haven’t been to that island, and I’m dying to catch a winter swell and do some surfing while blogging and videoing about how IWTYTBR has influenced me . . . with palm trees swaying in the background.

I’ll be finishing up school in May and starting work after summer. As such, I would take my girlfriend of six years on a long overdue vacation to either Tokyo, somewhere in Hawaii, Seoul, or Taipei. She’s stuck with me through all the over-achieving hours I’ve spent outside of classes and will have to put up with more as I transition in to being a top performer at work; so, she definitely deserves an awesome vacation!

I would go to Singapore and stay along the Marina Bay somewhere with my grandmother. She’ll be 85 this year, and though she’s experienced an amazing number of things throughout her life, she’s been deteriorating for the past two years. I’m the closest grandchild to her, and I want to give her a last hurrah while she can still remember it.

My husband and I have been planning a kickass before-we-breed-and-give-up-most-of-our-lives-to-small-humans monster of a trip to Japan and Korea for a while now. I’m thinking luxury hotel on Jeju Island? Yes, please.

I’m going to see a concert next year with a friend who doesn’t earn very much. This person appreciates “the high life” a lot more than I do. It’d be a huge win for me to be able to give this person a taste of an experience that would otherwise be out of their reach as it’d be a huge novelty for them and they could use some excitement.

Oooooh ….. where to? First to pop up in my mind was London because I’ve wanted to go there my entire life. But Spain is also my spiritual home and the country I’m trying to figure out ways to live in. But I concluded that what I really really need at the moment is a long-overdue visit with my friends in L.A. That was my home for many years before I left it to pursue a dream. Because of extreme setbacks, I haven’t seen my friends or my stateside home for 9 years! Any luxury hotel there would do. Ramit, you’re truly a dream-maker!

But … as happy as I am to be entered … at the end of it all I must humbly root for someone else on your comment list: Tyler so wants to take a dear friend who doesn’t have long to live for a truly memorable last experience. Can any wish more deserve to be granted!

I will definitely go back where I originally came from, Bangkok, Thailand. I’ve been chasing a dream life in the US for the past five years and have not had a chance (or cash) to go back for a visit. What an awesome give away, Ramit…Thank YOU for the chance!

BTW, I applied your techniques to a job search & interviews and it worked out, I’m just a step away to a dream job…thanks so much.

The Viceroy in the maldives looks lavishly delicious. Exquisitely isolated islands and a sensationally luxurious experience. The Journey to India Spa massage sounds like a life changing 4 hours of bliss and staying in the Royal Villa suite would be an experience unlike any other I have known…yet!

i would like to spend my two nights anywhere nice in the world with my husband, i live in Africa Zambia and it would be nice to take a break and enjoy the treat, especially that i have been at home raising my two Kids.

The biggest win for me will be finally being completely financially independent, working a job I actually enjoy and want to do, that helps me to experience and travel the world. I know there is a whole world out there and I want to experience it. A huge thing that has stopped me from traveling to nice places is having the money to live somewhere for my trip. It will change my life to finally experience somewhere new.

Mine would be in Bali and with my girlfriend. We are long distance at the moment and I know not only would it enable us to spend some rare time alone together it might actually convince her to move out east!

My brother is finishing chemo before starting radiation and wants to be done by the time his senior spring break comes in Feb in Michigan. I would send him )and me) to Miami or Mexico to celebrate being a senior and his treatment being over!

I don’t see any Starwood properties in the Galapagos Islands, so I’d probably use these two nights in Hawaii – I’ve saved enough miles to fly first class, I’d love a couple of nights in a luxury hotel to go with it! Not sure who gets to go with me….

My older sister and I are both completing our dissertations by 2013, and it would be a wonderful celebration for us to go on a trip together. Perhaps to Shanghai (the progress!), Berlin (the culture!) or Istanbul (the history!). Thanks for your productive insights, Ramit!

Ramit, I’ve always wanted to go to Thailand. I want to enjoy life by dancing on the sand at the Full Moon parties and eat amazing thai food! I could never find anyone to go with me because the overall trip expenses are out of everyone’s budget. Having hotel covered would change everything!

My poor husband gets ignored when I am doing my classes or research, so it would be a nice getaway for us. I would let him pick the location and I’m guessing it would be somewhere warm since it is freezing here!

My biggest win would be, to be able to finally take my girlfriend on a trip.

In May this year I crashed my motorcycle on the racetrack.
I was really beat up, and had to spend a week in the ICU and another 2 weeks in the hospital. And I had to undergo a second shoulder-surgery 3 weeks ago.

During my time in the hospital, my girlfriend was at my side as much as the visitor hours allowed, and I felt so much better, just because she was at my side. While I was barely able to breathe and unable to move, she was there next to me.The hospital was’t even in the country we live in, but still, she was there every single day!

After I got out of the hospital, the road to recovery began, a road that I’m still on. My left shoulder will never function properly again though, neither will my right wrist.
It’s a difficult road sometimes, but I’m glad I have a girl in my life that’s so incredibly loving,kind and supportive.

If I win, this trip will be all about her.
She will get to pick where we go and what we do and I’ll enjoy it anyway, because I’m there with her!

I know this story has no influence on my chance to win, but I just wanted to share.

I would love to win this 2 night stay. I haven’t been able to afford a pair of new shoes let alone a 2 night stay at any high priced hotel room in the entire world. And, for myself, at one time, my dreams used to be huge with the thought of one day my dreams coming to fruition. Now that time has humbled me, I would be happy to have a sucessful career where I could provide for myself easily and afford the things I used to do and afford in my past while not fearing about losing the roof over my head. Oh, and an electric car too would be nice since gasoline prices are now out of site and over the top. So Ramit, if you are reading this, and I am sure you are, I dream for caring for myself in a sucessful career.

P. S. I forgot, thank you Ramit for this opportunity to sign up to win a 2 night stay anywhere in the world. I know exactly where I would love to go to stay and I am glad there is not expiration date to this as I think it might take some time for me to afford to get the round trip plane tickets and passport. I am excited.

I too would stay at the St. Regis at Bora Bora. I have always wanted to stay in a thatched hut. I would take my 2 boys with me to experience this. My aunt told me that her favorite place in the whole world was Bora Bora, so I would like to go as well.

Each day, I post short insights on http://twitter.com/ramit about psychology, testing, personal ...

A funny thing started happening to me a few years ago. My business had grown ...
